If I had a job and the means to afford a ticket I'd totally be there.

It's the largest collection of bands on the east coast and get 100k people. A huge Canadian contingent make the way down there. Lando and I were both there last year (didn't see each other though) but I don't think he's going this year.

Sir Paul, Wilco, Animal Collective, Grizzly Bear... The list goes on. The lineup this year is awesome

2WL, I know it doesn't make it cheaper but they do have a monthy payment plan if that helps.

I know it is huge, and fucks up our roads for a week, but I am just some shocked people from so far come to little old Tennessee...lol

I have actually never been to it be honest, I hate traffic THAT MUCH...lol

Haha. How close are you to Manchester?

The lineup is awesome. I would love to go, but it's not gonna happen this year.

And, yes, the traffic is horrendous.

My house is about 2 hours, but I work mostly in Chattanooga, so about an hour.

Did you enjoy Tennessee? We have a very beautiful state, but many people are unaware of it.

I spend some time hiking in Tennessee. Actually, I did the length of the Tennessee-North Carolina border on the Appalachian Trail, and spent some time in Erwin and Johnson City.

For my money, there are few places in the world more beautiful than Roan Mountain.

WOW, Way up there huh Hecks.

Hecks, I have been all over the world, and East tennessee is hands down the most beautiful, and we actually do a good job of keeping it clean. The locals here get on the tourists if they litter and such.

Johnson City, well, its what it is, Erwin is tiny.

I've always though that it would suck to be a local for the weekend that a festival is in town. Didn't get to spend much time in TN. I can say that it was a pleasure to drive through Tennesse and Kentucky, especially after spending hours driving through that waste of space, Ohio.

I'll challenge you on "Hands down the best". I'm a Mainer, and I'd miss the ocean. But yes, it's pretty high on my list.

I did the Southeast of Tennessee, too, but at the Smokies, I turned right for Bryson City instead of left for Gatlinburg.

Erwin's tiny, but the people are wonderful.

remember hecks, I lived in boston for a long time, and learned a lot of my trout fishing skills in Maine, Vermont, New hampshire...lol

I have ice fished, played hockey up there, so I know the Northeast is also beautiful, and I do miss the ocean, but I hate the freaking snow...lol

Snow was cool when I was a kid, and could play in it. Shoveling it sucks

Ah, HJecks, did they all bring out their guns and try to shoot up in Erin...lol Joke btw, but those are the type of people who wont give up their guns, be sure of it.

you shoudl make a point to go to Gatlinburg ONCE. It is a great little town, reminds you of old Europe in some ways.

The snow is the price Mainers pay to live in such a beautiful place. But you're right, I like it a lot less now that I'm the one who has to shovel it. It does, however, carry the benefit of keeping the snowbirds away for a good six months of the year.

We have what we call 'half backs' here now. Northeasterners who went to florida, did not like it, and went 'half way back' to us. They are so obnoxious.

We have what we call 'yankees' and we have 'damn yankees'

A Northerner who comes here, ispolite and respectful, well we will joke with him and callhim a yankee.

You can imagine who fits the description of the 'damn yankee'

Big City Northeasterners are the worst. There snooty attitudes, looking down their nose at us, calling us names, etc.

I am not sure if you heard of a place called Reliance, but it is in the Cherokee National forest, and probably the best fly fishing river on The East coast is there (Hiwassee river), and they have exactly TWO gas stations, one which is also a small diner.

So i am in there, eating something, reading a book, some locals in there, they dont 'know' me, but have seen and talked to me, so I am 'ok' are also in there.

In comes 2 new Yorkers with their big Mercedes.....they come in, sit down, andorder some food and the man says "ever seen so many fucking rednecks"

Everyone stops talking, and starts looking at them.

I said, very polite way "sir, I know you are from New York, but I am going to say this plainly. I would not eat here, because, you may not leave here if you stay if you catch my drift" and nodded to the locals.

I was not even threatening him, just telling him the flatout truth. They did get up and leave, and all was okay, but that is the sort of shit we deal with from Northeasterners.

maine, vermont, and most New hampshire people are not like this, and so I can imagine you were not given any shit, but damn bostonians and new yorkers....they are the WORSTQ!!!!!

Our price for living here is tornadoes and damn heat.

I was there last year (with Lando) but unfortunately can't go this year. The lineup looks incredible, though.

I didn't get to see much of Tennessee either but we did run of gas (the gauge was broken) a few miles outside of Manchester...the cops were very nice and drove our friend to the nearest gas station and back to fill the jerry can.

Did some camping and golfing in Kentucky on the way down though and it was really beautiful there.

This guy came with frank and I (his is the car with the broken fuel gauge)

Funny if all the webdippers that attended came from Toronto and area.

I won't be there but if any webdippers do end up at Bonnaroo and want to make the short drive in Nashville I'll be around all weekend.

I'm trying so hard to get into Bjork. People seem to love her and her live sets seems pretty impressive but I'm struggling here...
